Pick-up

Carbon Hotel

Our accomodation-partner for the Tour is Different Hotels. Owner of several hotels in Limburg where they constantly seem to amaze its visitors. With their interior, location and service they are able to add great value to the cities in which they are located. During the Tour our guests will stay in Eburon, Terhills, Carbon and their latest achievement YUP Hotel.

Jan Kuppers and Karen Wuytens are a duo with a talent of making leather the star of any piece they craft. Unfiltered and elegant, whether they are making bags, cardholders or the interior of a restaurant, their work eliminates excess and focuses on the raw materials.

Yesterday I told you a little bit about the #limblogdesigntour already, but I wanted to share another favorite with you about the tour. We got to visit two great designers in their homes and this was just so inspiring. We payed a visit to the home of Michael Verheyden and the home and studio of Roel Vandebeek.

A few weeks ago I had the honour to join the #limblogdesigntour in Limburg, Belgium, where I went to visit the Design highlights of Limburg. We visited a lot of places, each one as exciting as the next. One of my favorite visits on the tour was the showroom of studio Kuppers Wuytens who designed a large range of beautiful leather goods, but also furniture and the entire interior of restaurant Magis.

It is not very often that eating at a restaurant makes me think of Fashion designer Rick Owens and the raw and brut material of Mad et Len at the same time, and I guess it must be hard for you to understand what I am talking about, but believe me if I say it was pure happiness I felt. When having dinner at La Cuchara, the one star Michelin restaurant of chef Jan Tournier, in the little town of Lommel, Belgium I was really impressed by the amazing food and the dark minimalistic interior with the huge glass tree sculpture.

Trying out some black on black before heading downtown to visit some places for my @amsnxt guide and blog and the Japanese Travellersbook pop up store at @misc_store_ams Headnover to their account to discover this weekend event! #japan #travellersnotebook #zoink bracelet #limblogdesigntour blackXwood #myhome

Having coffee with @michaelverheydenstudio at his home studio was an excellent opportunity to pick his brain on design, entrepreneurial spirit, and having the unique opportunity in hearing about his personal inspirations. – this is in fact a @rickowens quote. Yeah.

In my hotelroom looking up to the cam of an old monastery looking back on a rewarding day meeting my fellow bloggers for the #limblogdesigntour w/ @emfex @ateliertally @sarah_cocolapine @vosgesparis and @kastrouac & @schauvre. Looking toward to tomorrow! Thank you @differenthotels 👌🏻

First night of #limblogdesigntour got off to a good start! Soon off to bed, but I just discovered this amazing construction in the courtyard of our hotel, so have to figure out what this is first. All I know now is that it's a great contrast to the beautiful 12th century building in the ancient city of Tongeren, Belgium.
